Description Sorry about the delay, I've been pretty busy....we're planning on moving here in a couple months, and I've been trying to get everything set up.

Anyway, this is a test-fit i did of my armor....there is a couple of tweaks i need/would like to make to it, then it should be approvable for the Mercs.

    *Need to make a neckseal, shouldn't be difficult, just something to cover the skin when I turn my head.
    *Need to get my knees fixed...they aren't in this shot, because I wasn't happy with where they were sitting....nothing a little Velcro can't fix.

    *Want to weather my gauntlets, wasn't done with it at the time of the photo-shoot (was finishing up for the local SW Reads)
    *Want to take in the shoulders just a bit, so that they are at an angle, rather than sticking strait out.  I remember reading somewhere
      that having them out like that is supposed to help keep women from having the bobble head effect....completely forgot till I got it all on
      that my shoulders are a little wider than the norm.
    *Want to adjust the way my chest plates sit...looks fine, but doesn't feel quite right....just have to pull them tighter up against my body.

    *Debating removing the stomach plate....wasn't originally in my concept art for V2, and I still don't really like having it there....interferes with my ability to eat pizza.

That should be it for V2, should be posting up some V3 concept art here in a few minutes....not colored yet, but I think its going to be a bit more subdued on the color scheme.

LOL pizza comment! Chest plates look a little close, maybe that's restricting a little bit?

But yes, looking very good *excited*

Pizza RULES!  *is going to pizza buffet in about 15 minutes*

Lol, nope although I do need to adjust them a little bit, and pull them in around the sides....I have also come to the conclusion that once you put on chest armor, there really is no flexibility unless you have a nice 2-4" gap in between the plates.  anything less than that is pretty much the same.

And thank you!  I am excited as well!

Hopefully once mine is done (which is now delayed again. Due to life, again :/ ) I'll be able to go to the states and see it in person
